“It is wonderful to have David take care of kitty drop ins for our 2 fur babies again. We are grateful to have a trustworthy and reliable person to care for Carly and Augie when we are away.”
“Amanda was amazing and professional. She sent lots of pictures. Dogs eating, playing, etc... it was fantastic the way she worked and cared for our pups. Her summary of the visits were great to read how they are doing in real time. Thank you so much for your heart and professional. We can't thank her enough.”
About: From 2022-2024 I worked at a dog training and boarding facility part-time in college and full-time in summers. Here I was trained in reading dog body language and mannerisms. Daily I did multiple cleanings of their spaces, fed meals, provided 1:1 playtime, and aided in giving medications. Since then I've been doing house sitting and dog walking for friends and family. I am experienced in giving meditations and working with puppies and geriatric dogs. I am currently a college student but I only have two in person classes and a part time job. I am able to come multiple times a day including early mornings and nights. I like to do a couple play times during the day and have time to settle at night before bedtime. I am able to perform any tasks necessary to keep your pet comfortable and on schedule.
“Denise was so easy to work with and fit me in last minute. My dog really took to her and she doesn’t usually warm up very quickly. I would definitely recommend and use her again in the future”
About: I Love dogs, since my dog has passed away several years ago I enjoy pet sitting to fill the void. Animals are love. Your animal will be cared for and loved the way you would. We have a fenced in yard which your animal can play in and he will not be ignored or cooped up. We have had many dogs in the past but do not currently have one. Good with large dogs, or all sizes, really, Many people have trusted us with their dogs but now I am trying this service hoping it works well on all ends, it seems like a good idea. Your animal will be in a safe environment and you can get regular updates. Thank you for considering me. I am currently tele commuting working from home. Your dog won't be left alone for hours on end and will not be ignored. Usually home 7 days a week The yard is fenced in, and I have also been using an apple air tag as an extra level of security. Making sure your dog never gets away is the highest priority.
“Justina did an excellent job caring for our three cats while we were away. She provided frequent updates and amazing photos that gave us peace of mind and showed that our fur babies were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear she took the time to make sure they received plenty of attention and care during each visit. We came home to three happy cats and felt completely confident that they were in good hands while we were gone. We highly recommend Justina and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! 🐾💕”
“Theresa was absolutely the best with my dog Sissy. She had great communication, was timely, and an absolute blessing to find for Sissy. Thank you so much! We will be booking again for sure!”
“Cynthia was amazing. She filled up with me everyday and took pictures of Wesley which made me so happy. I would recommend 100 percent. Will use again in the future.”
“Melissa went above and beyond all of our expectations for her. We were contacted with pictures and text letting us know how our dog was doing each time she came to house. A++++. Fully recommend Melissa to anyone who needs a pet sitter. ”
“We couldn't be happier with the care our cats received! One of our cats is usually very shy around strangers, but to our surprise, he went straight to Misha without any hesitation; a true testament to her gentle and calming presence. She sent us adorable daily photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our cats were clearly well-loved and looked after. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Lorraine is seriously the best!! So caring and responsible! She took the time to listen to my concerns with my puppy and has met and exceeded every expectation!! Would highly recommend her!!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life chickens, cats, dogs, ect and I've had my own dog for about 7 and a half years while taking care of other people's dogs and cats I'm pretty flexible with my schedule and right now, my current job schedule is 3p-11p every Friday and 3p-11p every other weekend. By the end of August I will be busy on Wednesday afternoons I have my own car so in the event of any mishap, emergency, or just a change of scenery for your pet I can provide that. I'm also very detail oriented so I ask many questions to ensure I know as much as possible about your pet so that they can be safe and happy in your absence.

“This was my first time using Rover, so I didn't know what to expect. Will is a lovely person & my cat liked him a lot too! I was surprised to receive a daily "Report Card". This not only informed me of all the tasks that Will performed during each visit, my cat's behavior & a few photos! Will was knowledgeable of the special diet & health situation of my cat & how to apply his medicines. I could tell that he was a highly skilled Cat Sitter. He also provided excellent & timely correspondence when I was sorting out my request. I highly recommend his services to any cat or dog. He loves them all!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets as long as I can remember. I’ve lived with large and small dogs, old and young, as well as cats and reptiles. I work from home so I have flexibility and availability throughout most of the day. I can take my job anywhere so I have time to dedicate to your pet! I’ve always showed dedication, care, comfort, and love to any animal I’ve known and met. All animals deserve to be loved and cared for with the same care as any person.

I was really nervous to have my 2 cats pet-sat for the first time, but there was no reason to be! Justina was awesome, and my cats loved her, even the fickle Siamese one. 😂 During the 9 days my husband and I were gone, she provided liberal amounts of photos and updates. She also left our house clean and tidy afterwards. We will definitely use her again!
Kendall was fantastic with our dog and took such great care of them. Kendall also went above and beyond by rescuing our cat after he accidentally got shut in a bedroom during the day. We had total peace of mind knowing our pets were in such attentive, caring hands. Highly recommend Kendall!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Allentown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
